    7   NC                 
    8   5V              VCC




Protocol
--------
Signal: Asynchronous, Positive logic, 19200baud, Least bit first
Frame format: 1-Start bit(Lo), 8-Data bits, Odd-Parity, 1-Stop bit



Build Firmware
--------------
Just use 'make'

    $ cd pc98_usb
    $ make

Then, load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer.
